(meteorobs) A meteor or a sat flash?- radio gives it away

[James Beauchamp]

Nice, Tom.  Just curious, how many total hits do you get - approximate average?  I'm seeing them start about an hour after local midnight and last until around local noon.  Average one to two good hits per hour with persistant scatter here.  At least one to two per day are big ones with spectral details from fragmentation.
 
Wish I had the camera setup you do.  Tried a Sony CCD with no luck.

Last night I captured a slightly interesting meteor. It was almost a 
point source flash that I might have considered to be a satellite flare 
but the radio reflection determined it to be a meteor. 

Small .mp4 movie with forward scatter sound here: You can hear it nicely 
in stereo on two radios.
